Leucoptera laburnella (laburnum leaf miner) is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae. It is found in most of Europe, except the European part of Russia and the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula. [1] It is also found in North America.
The forewings are white; an oblique ochreous-yellow bar from costa beyond middle, edged with dark fuscous ; a nearly vertical ochreous-yellow costal spot before apex, edged with dark fuscous parallel lines ; beneath this a pale violet -golden -metallic post-tornal spot, edged on sides with black and above with yellowish ; apex yellowish ; three diverging dark fuscous bars in apical cilia. Hindwings are whitish. The larva is green-whitish. [2]
The larvae feed on Astragalus , Chamaecytisus supinus , Genista tinctoria , Laburnocytisus adamii , Laburnum alpinum , Laburnum anagyroides , Lupinus polyphyllus and Petteria ramentacea (Fabaceae). They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mines are undistinguishable from those of Leucoptera genistae . The mine starts as a densely contorted corridor, that quickly turns brown. It is followed by a more or less straight corridor entirely filled with greyish-green frass. Then it widens into a round blotch that overruns the earlier corridor and in the end may occupy half of a leaflet. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. [3]
